Service Description: This layer displays the minimum extent of space needed along rivers (i.e., riparian corridor width) for them to function more naturally. This layer serves to identify and protect the overall integrity of blue and green networks and help ensure development plans facilitate biodiversity enhancements, nature recovery and greater ecological connectivity through the restoration of degraded habitats and protection of biodiversity rich areas.

Description: The Riparian Corridor GIS layer is a buffer zone that extends from the banks of all natural watercourses in Scotland. The Riparian Corridor buffer has 3 size categories: 10 m 15 m, and 30 m. The size of buffer is determined by the width each watercourse; channels less than 2 m wide having a corridor of 10m, 2 m to 15 m wide, 15 m and greater than 15 m wide, 30 m applied to each bank. In total, the riparian corridor buffer zone adds 20 m, 30 m or 60 m to the width of each river channel.
The mapped network of natural watercourses and their attributed width values were derived from the Ordinance Survey National Geographic Database, Water Link layer.
